President Harding has directed the appointment of negro eligibles to all staff positions of the new Negro Vet- erans’ Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., when reached for certification in ac- cordance with civil service rules. This announcement by the Civil Service Commission settles a dispute among three factors, one seeking the employment of white persons only, another the employment of negro per- sonnel and white doctors and the third asking the entire hospital staff be composed of negroes. Director Hines of the Veterans’ Bureau pre- viously had ordered the employment of negro doctors as far as possible at the hospital. He declared, however, that the chief medical officer, at least for the present, will be a white man. The hospital has a capacity of 600 beds, and the Civil Service Commis- sion announced there will be need for thirty-three physicians and sixty- three graduate nurse: HELD IN $200,000 EMBEZZLING CASE Man Arrested in Arizona Charged ‘With Swindling Insurance Com- pany in Martins Ferry, Ohio.

By the 4ssociated Press. 2 LONDON, May 15.—Reports thal Prime Minister Bonar Law is return’ ing to London from Switzerland to: day gave rise to the suggestion that he has curtailed his holiday in con sequence of the position in which tht government finds itself in regard t& the Art O'Brien habeas corpus pro: ceedings. According to opposition politicians and press, the situation Is extremel” serious and they treat it much liké a ministerial crisis. Penalties Severe. The cabinet met last night to con sider the quandry. The ministers seem to have been particularly con? cerned with measures to protect Home Secretary Bridgeman and others against the penalties Involved in = breach of the habeas corpus act of 1670, which provides that no resit dent of England may be sent as & prisoner to any place beyond thé seas, including Ireland. It also declares that persons re- sponsible for the detention of a pris- oner in violation of the act may in- cur the “penalties of praemunire,” i Washington’s cluding confiscation “of lands and goods, arrest and outlawry. By the Associated Preta. LONDON, May 15.—As the result of the house 'of lords' in the case of Art O'Brien the British gov- ernment Is requesting the Irish Free State government to return to Eng- land all the prisoners deported:to Ire- land, Home Secretary Bridgeman an- nounced in the house of commons to- day. it has been supposed that the gov- ernment would introduce an indem- nity bill to protect the officials r sponsible for the March deportations. This measure was ©o have been pressed for passage before Thursday, on which date the house has arranged to adjourn for the Whitsuntide va- cation. Measure Opposed. It seems to be recognized, how- ever, that the measure is likely to incur more opposition than has been cxpected and It is now understood that the government has decided to defer introduction of the bill until after the recess, calling the commons together one day earlier than was intended. Opposition political writers say the bill will be fought tooth and nail and that the government will be sternly called to account for the de- linquencies of Secretary Bridgeman, Attorney General Sir Douglas Hogg and Viscount Novar, the secretary for Scotland, in allowing the pris- oners to be sent to Ireland. There is an insistent demand for the resignation of these officials. It is sald that Secretary Bridgeman has to ‘step down, but gues refuse to consider ent, intending_ to refer the question to Mr. Bonar Law. ome doubt is expressed as to whether an indemnifying act could protect these ministers, some poli- ticians asserting that they cannot ape some of the penalties provided by the habeas corpus act. It is assumed that all the March raid prisoners in Ireland will now be released. Some of them, it is re- ported, will be prosecuted for the Massachusetts Park most beautiful residential section of detach- ed homes.
